3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. [thanks after4ever]
Pours light murky orange amber with a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, Belgian sugar, light toasted. Medium carbonation, fine dry and oily mouthfeel. Flavour has caramel, Belgian sugar, rather vinious and warming. Light raisin. Okay, but a bit too sharp.

355ml bottle (Kailsa Helsinki)
banana aroma, and so fucking sweet. caramel, toffee, just plain sugar. Do like the banana aspects. butfuck, this is booze, no matter how much banana comes oer the rim. By the way, there’s no such style - all you meant was "boozy". Congrats - hit...

Solid Belgium, but nothing special. Good fruit flavor, hints of bubblegum, leaves alcohol burn finish.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
ar: jam, marmalade, earthy hops, herbs, yeast, smells less intense than its Belgian counterparts, some light tartness to it. No mistaking the inspiration and the style, but lacking a certain je ne sais quoi.
Ap: amber color, small beige head that dissipates quickly and leaves a ring.
F: jam, marmalade, dried fruit, yeastiness, low bitterness, but some earthy hops come through, true to the style, ABV is evident and the finish is warming.
P: Heavy carbonation, again true to the style, but a little too heavy for my liking. Mouthfeel is not very full for the style.
T: Nah, high craftsmanship, but nothing that excited me.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a bright, but cloudy, ruby color with a finger length off white head. There was an obnoxious amount of sediment floating around. Had aromas of banana bread, bubblegum, tropical fruits (especially mango), ginger, and a bit of caramel. Pure yeastiness all the way down. Nice and sweet, and the alcohol was really well hidden. I really liked this one.

A very good quad. Pours a magnificent red with a tan head. Smells of green apples and cherries. Taste is similar, very fruity and malty. Slightly sour finish. Tastes great, but couldn't have too much. Had in the bottle.

2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
750 ml bottle. BB 31/12/13 from the importer. Courtesy of mjs.
Amber colour with a small to average sized white head.
Sweetness and booze. Aka sweet maltiness and alcohol notes in the aroma. The flavour is bad. Boozy mess. I'm sorry but there's nothing else than hops (not fresh), malt, sugary sweetness and alcohol in the flavour. Unpleasant. Bad.
